I'm not denying that Dante and Rebellion have a special link. Im saying theirs is more intimate than Vergil/Nero and Yamatos. It is a manifestation of his power, his power didn't manifest in the sword or its form. We know this because it is stated that the sword is a manifestation, not its forms. The sword, as an object, could not have existed before Dante because things dont manifest from something that doesn't exist. Much like Bakusaiga could not exist before Sesshomaru. Just because its a keepsake doesn't mean Sparda had it before Dante. A keepsake is something you give to someone to remember you by. At Dantes birth he could have taken 20 minutes to make it from and for Dante.
